Keep the lamps burning!

There is this phrase in Exodus 27:21 that caught my attention ” “keep the lamps burning before the Lord“.

In the Tent of Meeting, outside the curtain that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the LORD from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come.
It is awesome to know that, if we believe in Him, He is always with us even in the Darkest of times. That fire (presence) is what makes the difference.

Matthew 5:16 says this:  “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven”.

This is something that we shouldn’t turn off or on. It should ALWAYS shine…
